Abstract
Pectoralis major injuries are not commonly seen; this type of injury occurs mainly due to weightlifting and bench pressing. The majority of cases occur in men between the ages of 20 to 40 years. We present a case of a previously healthy 34-year-old male who presented to the emergency department after sustaining an injury to the left shoulder and loin while playing rugby. Physical examination revealed a swelling over the deltopectoral region, with a large hematoma noted over the left loin. The patient had mild pain over the left shoulder, chest, and loin. He then went to an orthopedic surgeon seven days later, and an ultrasound was performed, revealing a partial pectoralis muscle rupture. The patient underwent surgical repair on the same day, and an intraoperative examination showed a complete pectoralis major tear, which was successfully repaired.
